Ross Sylvester made some comments at the conclusion of general
business that he was concerned that some members were not
showing consideration for people trying to organise events particularly
those who turn up without notice and who require catering and/or
accommodation. In addition he bewailed the fact that members
were not prepared to take on responsibility of leadership roles within
the Association particularly in the Coordinators roles. He concluded
that God rewards effort. We must also be prepared for what is
planned and do it with polish.
